Enstrom F-Z8A Executive Helicopter

Enstrom F-Z8A Executive Helicopter

Complements the air travel job of the fixed-wing corporate aircraft. This low-priced, time-saving Enstrom helicopter is strong, straightforward in design, and carries three people up and over congested highway traffic with proven safety.

Its reliable Lycoming 205 h.p. engine powers the Enstrom at speeds over 100 mph. Enstrom operating costs are lower than any other helicopter. The Enstrom rotor system is unique, in that its main rotor blades are FAA certified for infinite life.

The autorotational capabilities of the Enstrom are the best in the industry. And unlike any other helicopter, the Enstrom can be trimmed for “hands-off ” flight, making the transition for fixed-wing pilots an easy one. Our heavily muffled exhaust system makes the Enstrom extremely quiet, both inside and out.
